1 Shopping for a safer car 2013 insurance institute for highway safety
2 Selecting a safer new vehicle is a lot easier than it used to be. Most new cars, minivans, pickup trucks and SUVs earn good ratings in front and side crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Some models still need improvement when it comes to protecting people in rollovers and rear crashes. So how is a safety-conscious buyer to choose? This publication and the vehicle ratings at iihs.org can help you identify the best picks. Whether you are in the market for a new or used vehicle, here are some things to consider: Vehicle size and weight matter. Smaller, lighter vehicles generally offer less protection than larger, heavier ones. There is less structure to absorb crash energy, so deaths and injuries are more likely. People in lighter vehicles also experience higher crash forces when struck by heavier vehicles. If safety is a major consideration, pass up very small, light vehicles. A crashworthy design reduces death and injury risk. Structure and restraints help determine crashworthiness. Good structure means a strong occupant compartment, crumple zones to absorb the force of a serious crash, side structure to manage the force of a striking vehicle or struck object and a strong roof that won t collapse in a rollover. Safety belts keep people in their seats and spread crash forces across the upper body s stronger bony parts. Airbags protect people from hitting things inside the vehicle or objects outside it. iihs.org/ratings
3 VEHICLE RATINGS and CRASH TESTS A good place to start is with vehicle ratings at iihs.org. Each year, IIHS rates new models for safety based on how well they protect people in front, side, rollover and rear crashes. Models with good ratings in the moderate overlap frontal test, side impact, rollover and rear tests earn TOP SAFETY PICK. Models that also earn good or acceptable in a new frontal crash evaluation called a small overlap test earn TOP SAFETY PICK+. The test replicates what happens when only the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object such as a tree or a pole. IIHS added the small overlap test to help drive further improvements in frontal crashworthiness. Only a few 2013 models evaluated so far qualify for TOP SAFETY PICK+. Choose one of these if you are looking for a vehicle that has achieved the highest all-around safety marks. Look for vehicles that earn IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ or TOP SAFETY PICK at iihs.org/ratings, plus at least 4 of 5 stars from NHTSA at safercar.gov.
4 Crash avoidance technologies Protecting people in crashes is vital. Avoiding them altogether is ideal. Crash avoidance systems can help. Many automakers offer them on 2013 models. Although relatively new, two features forward collision avoidance and adaptive headlights already are reducing crashes, based on analysis of insurance losses by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI), an affiliate of IIHS. Forward collision avoidance alerts you if you get too close to a car in front. Some systems can brake if you don t respond in time. Others brake without warning you first and are meant for lowspeed traffic. Adaptive headlights shift direction as you steer to help you see better on curves in the dark. Lane departure warning and blind spot detection are two other technologies intended to help drivers avoid crashes. So far, IIHS and HLDI haven t been able to quantify their benefits.
5 Go to iihs.org/crash_avoidance to find vehicles with crash avoidance features. NHTSA also identifies models with advanced features such as lane departure warning and forward collision warning. Go to safercar.gov to learn more. IIHS ratings are easily accessed on the go at m.iihs.org, our mobile site. Watch our crash test videos at YouTube.com/iihs.
6 Buying a used vehicle IIHS has been awarding TOP SAFETY PICK since 2006, and lists of prior years winners are available on our website. Here are some things to help you assess the crashworthiness of older models: Frontal crashworthiness Look for good ratings in frontal tests. Most newer models earn top marks for frontal crashworthiness in NHTSA s 35 mph test head on into a rigid barrier and the IIHS 40 mph moderate overlap test into a deformable barrier. Drivers of vehicles rated good are about 46 percent less likely to die in a serious frontal crash than drivers in poor-rated vehicles. Side crashworthiness Choose a vehicle with good side ratings plus side airbags that protect your head. IIHS and NHTSA rate models based on tests that simulate front-intoside crashes. The tests represent different side impact dangers. Shoppers wanting the best protection should look for vehicles with the highest ratings in all conditions. Drivers of vehicles with good ratings in the IIHS side barrier test are 70 percent less likely to die in a driver-side crash compared with drivers in vehicles rated poor. Likewise, studies of real-world crashes indicate that side airbags substantially reduce fatality risk. Some side airbags also are designed to protect you in a rollover. The majority of 2008 and later models have side airbags as standard equipment. Roof strength Look for a strong roof. IIHS rates roof strength to help consumers pick vehicles with roofs that will hold up in a rollover crash. Stronger roofs crush less. Ratings begin with models.
7 Head restraints Pick a model with a good seat/head restraint rating to reduce whiplash injuries in a rear-end collision. Vehicles with seat/head restraint combinations rated good by IIHS have 15 percent fewer insurance claims for neck injuries than vehicles with poor ratings. You can help increase protection by remembering to adjust the head restraint to correctly fit behind your head. Electronic stability control Buy a vehicle with ESC, standard on 2012 and later models. ESC is an extension of antilock brake technology that helps drivers maintain control on curves and slippery roads. ESC engages automatically to help keep the vehicle in the intended line of travel. It lowers the risk of a fatal single-vehicle crash by about half and the risk of a fatal rollover by up to 80 percent. Go to iihs.org/ratings to see what models have side airbags and ESC and to look up front, side, rollover and rear crash ratings.
